Front 4 link pics

Working on my front 4 link, looking for pics of EB's that have done a front 4 link.
With mogs would be a plus. ;D

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the 4 link calculator, the terms that get calculated and why a front 4 link should or should not be any different than a rear 4 link setup............... (in other words, I'm not even close to starting yet).

I wanted pics just to see what others have done that fits.

nice looking setup. did you use the calculator when you set it up? i'd really like to see the spreadsheet on that.

Because with 4 links, assuming they're designed correctly, the axle can't move from side to side, which is what a track bar does. No more need for a track bar with a 4 link than with leaf springs - although Jeep in their ultimate wisdom did put track bars on some leaf sprung Jeeps.

On a Triangulated 4 link you won't need a track bar. On a regular 4 link you will need a track bar to keep things centered up.
To run a triangulated 4 link in the front you have to run hydo steering

I disagree. I know there are guys running triangulated 4 link fronts in EB's with regular steering. And love it.

Here is a pic. Triangulated 4 link front on an EB with hydro assist. No different than regular power steering.

Here are some pics of my friend's old set-up. He's since built a center diff front axle and changed the links around a bit to get more clearance between the top of the axle and the oil pan.

Homemade. Here are the ones he made to replace those when he swapped out the 331 for a 408 - all stainless

He probably still has them sitting on a shelf somewhere. I could ask him if he's looking to sell them.

That dude does some nice work.

Yes he does...he's an Engineer with me here at Ford. Not all of us Engineers are bookworms
